Dining

With some of the best restaurants in Maynooth the Glenroyal Hotel with Arkle Bar & Shoda Market Cafe promises to delight both the casual & seasoned diners alike. Visitors and guests can look forward to a variety of dishes while also catering for the healthier options .

The Glenroyal Hotel offers a choice from our snug lounge or our newly refurbished Arkle Bar where you may choose to sip on a revitalising cocktail, savour a fine whiskey or brandy, or just relax with a daily paper while you enjoy a freshly ground coffee, cappuccino or latte.

Arkle Bar & Restaurant

We are delighted to announce we have finished our refurbishment of our new Arkle Bar. The name comes from the famous Irish racehorse Arkle and symbolises all of the great racecourses Kildare has to offer. It’s everything you’d expect from an Irish bar and more – a warm welcome, a good pint and a great atmosphere. Arkle Bar is also a great place to enjoy some delicious bar food or a tasty snack.

Shoda Market Café

“bringing fresh and healthy ingredients to life” Serving breakfast, lunch and an early evening menu 7 days a week.

Shoda Café is Irelands newest lifestyle café, based around a fresh and healthy concept. Two previous graduates of Shannon College of Hotel Management have come together using their experience gained from working around the world through hospitality to establish Shoda Market Café.

Our ethos is very simple, serve great wholesome food with a unique twist married with passionate and personal service. We believe in producing great food that can be enjoyed by all diets, preferences and tastes.

We stayed at the Hotel from Thursdays 25th to Saturday the 27th of July. We had a great time, our 3 children absolutely loved it and really enjoyed the kids club and the pool! The hotel staff were brilliant and went above and beyond to make sure we had an enjoyable stay! Looking forward to staying with ye again soon xxx

Our stay was brilliant and the staff were first class. The facilities especially for our kids were up there with the best places we have stayed before. I would not hesitate to recommend the glenroyal to any other family and should we stay in maynooth in the future we will definitely be staying at the glenroyal.
